👻 Ghost score 3%

What it means: how likely this posting is sitting open without active hiring.How to read it: 60% or higher means we think this is a ghost. Lower scores are less of a worry.How we score it: age, reposts, open roles vs team size, how fast jobs close, and whether pay is listed.Fine print: an estimate from public data, not a judgment of the company. Real jobs can score high, so treat it as a hint, not a fact.

They aim to advance decentralized training research and open-source AI development on a global scale.

📋 Description

• Build environments, evaluations, agents, and post-training methods for quantitative research and systematic decision-making • Turn workflows into tasks, environments, evaluations, and reward signals • Run post-training experiments against real baselines and determine whether gains come from the model, data, harness, inference, or infrastructure • Build quantitative-research environments for hypothesis formation, analysis, backtesting on point-in-time data, result diagnosis, and iterative testing • Design rewards and evaluations distinguishing durable improvement from look-ahead bias, data leakage, overfitting, favorable execution assumptions, hidden concentration, and tail risk • Train long-horizon agents to use data, research, coding, simulation, and portfolio tools while preserving provenance and respecting risk constraints • Build environments with realistic market mechanics, transaction costs, latency, capacity, and operational constraints • Develop agents that conduct quantitative research, use analytical and execution tools, inspect evidence, and recover from failed hypotheses • Create verifiers and evaluations for robust out-of-sample behavior across assets, horizons, regimes, and adverse conditions • Build production loops with monitoring, human authority, regression gates, and failure attribution across models, data, simulation, and infrastructure • Work directly with customers, users, or research partners while maintaining a substantive research agenda • Turn reusable work into shared research, open-source systems, and product capabilities

🎯 Requirements

• Depth in RL, agents, or post-training systems and ability to become fluent in quantitative research • Prior work in systematic trading, market microstructure, time-series modeling, econometrics, or financial simulation is useful but not required • Hands-on experience building and debugging model-training, post-training, agent, evaluation, or closely adjacent experimental loops • Strong experimental judgment: meaningful baselines, careful trace inspection, clear failure attribution, and willingness to change direction when evidence changes • Strong Python • Ability to build artifacts that other researchers and engineers can run, inspect, and extend • Comfort owning ambiguous problems and keeping partners and teammates current • Publications, open-source systems, benchmarks, or shipped products as evidence of exceptional work

🏖️ Benefits

• Equity incentives • Flexible Work (San Francisco, New York, London, or remote) • Visa Sponsorship & relocation support • Professional Development budget • Team Off-sites & conference attendance
